President Trump wasn't bluffing: Trump has pardoned former sheriff Joe Arpaio following Arpaio's conviction for intentionally disobeying a judge's order in an immigration case. The White House announced the move Friday night, saying the 85-year-old ex-sheriff of Arizona's Maricopa County was a "worthy candidate" for a presidential pardon, per the AP. Trump had strongly hinted at the move during his Tuesday night rally in Phoenix, telling supporters that Arpaio would be "just fine."

Arpaio, who became linked to Trump during the campaign for their hardline immigration views, was convicted of a misdemeanor for intentionally defying a judge's order to stop his traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. In the statement Friday night, the White House said: "Throughout his time as Sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon."

News FLASH for all you Illegals ICE is on your tail, along with MS 13 this is what Trump was left with after Obama was replaced. Now we need a big dust broom to clean up all the shit Obama left us with while he and his bride live in a nice neighborhood.

Once again we see that the lawless thugs of the GOP have absolutely no regard for the law when it is applied to one of their own. Sickening.
